I don't understand what you are trying to do here. But regardless of your
intention, the problem you have is nothing to do with updating os.environ.
Proof: change the last line from this complicated expression:

os.environ.update(line.partition('=')[::2] for line in output.split('\0'))

to this simple expression:

output.split('\0')

and you will get the same error. os.environ is irrelevant. Your problem is
only with Popen.

What makes you think that Popen objects have a split() method? They are not
documented as having this method:
